Both are types of fuel (peat is found in bogs in the everglades for the U.S. and many places in England, so the must be dried out before burning.) even though ferns are called peat when they are burned.

How do ferns that lived millions of years ago provide energy for us today?

The ferns have been compressed into 'coal' and we use coal as a source of energy - hence 'fossil fuels'.


How do ferns turn into coal?

Ferns, along with other plant material, contribute to coal formation through a process called coalification. After ferns die, they accumulate in swampy environments, where they are buried by sediment. Over millions of years, heat and pressure transform this organic material into peat, and eventually into coal through a series of chemical and physical changes. This process can take millions of years, resulting in the carbon-rich deposits we mine today.

Coal is formed by the compression of?

Coal is formed by the compression of dead plant material over millions of years. This organic material undergoes chemical and physical changes due to pressure and heat, transforming it into coal.

What is the relationship between coal and seedless plants?

For humans, some of the most important seedless vascular plants lived and died about 300 million years ago. The remains of these ancient ferns, horsetails, and club mosses formed coal, a fossil fuel that we now extract from the Earth's crust. Hope this helps!


Why are ferns that lived millions of years ago still important to us today?

Ferns were the dominant form of vegetation during the Carboniferous Period about 300 million years ago. They were much larger than ferns growing today, some reaching a height of 24 meters (80 feet). Much of the world's supply of coal, oil, and gas formed from the remains of ancient ferns that were slowly buried under layers of sediment.


When did coal forming swamps cover our earth?

Coal-forming swamps covered the Earth during the Carboniferous period, approximately 360 to 300 million years ago. This period is known for abundant plant growth, particularly lycopods and tree ferns, which accumulated and were transformed into the coal deposits we see today.
